Be it known that I, HENRY O. AYRns, acitzen of the United States,residing at Greenville, in the county of Darke and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Angular Conduits forElectrical I/Viring; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear,and exact description of the invention, such as will enable'othersskilled in the art to Which it appertains to make and use the same,reference being had to the accom pan ying drawings, and to the lettersof reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in angularconduits for electric wiring; and the object of the invention is toproduce a simple, efficient, and ornamental device of this nature whichmay be applied to a Wainscoting, footboard, or other ledge and soarranged as to contain electrical conductors and provided with aremovable cover which with the conduit forms an ornamental surface.

The invention consists, further, in various details of construction andarrangementsl of parts,which will be hereinafter fully described andthen specifically defined in the appended claim.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which, withthe letters of reference marked thereon,form a part of this application,and in Whicl w Figure 1 is a perspective view showing my improvedconduit as applied to the wall of a room. Fig. 2 is a sectional viewthrough the device, and Fig. 3 is a view of a modiiied form of conduit.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, Adesignates a metallic conduit which is of general triangular shape incross-section and adapted to be held by means of a screw B to aWainscoting, footboard, or other ledge and is provided with an openingin which conductor-wires may be inserted. The marginal edges of theopening into the conduit are turned to form hookshaped flanges D, whichare adapted to be In Eig. 3 of the drawings I have shown a y slightchange in the shape of the conduit, showing a slightly-modified form ofcover K, which is adapted to yieldingly engage the edges of the openinginto the conduit A.

By the provision of the form of conduit as shown and described it willbe observed that a'simple and efficient means is aiorded to holdelectric conductor-wires upon Wainscoting, footboards, or other ledgesand presenting an inclined ornamental surface in which is positioned the-removable cover, whereby access may be readily had to the conc uit.

While I have shown a particular form of conduit embodying the featuresof this invention, it will be understood that I mayvary the same,ifdesired, in dierent Ways without in any way departing from the spiritof the invention.

Having thus fully described my invention,

what I claim as new, and desire to secure by I HENRY O. AYRES.
